Chapter 1168: Chapter 797: Blood Simurgh Sword Manual, 1,000-Year He Shouwu

Changyuan Mountain, the battle on the mountain has settled, and the warm sunlight rises again, shining across the earth.

Moreover, whether it’s the Righteous Sect’s array setup or the absence of the Ghost Array of the Gui Xuan Sect,

Ye Jingcheng only felt significantly warmer.

Of course, at this moment, as Ye Jingcheng held the Jade Talisman, he couldn’t help but fall into contemplation again.

The name of this Earth Rank Lower Grade Cultivation Technique, none other than the Blood Simurgh Sword Manual.

Not only does it have the method to consecrate the Blood Simurgh Sword, but also the method to refine the Blood Simurgh Coffin.

He couldn’t help but overlap this cultivation technique with the figure of that Yu Family cultivator.

Finally, he let out a long sigh, not intending to keep the Jade Talisman.

Although, according to the technique, as long as one cultivates at least one Blood Simurgh inside, the chance of success in breaking through to the Purple Mansion increases by one percent, and by half percent when breaking through to the Golden Core.

Don’t underestimate this one percent or half percent, as it’s known that the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid increases the Purple Mansion by only four percent, while the Gold Condensing Pill only offers a three-layer boost for the Golden Core breakthrough.

However, Ye Jingcheng felt some unease, after all, leaving an Earth Rank Lower-grade Technique just sitting in a Storage Bag seemed somewhat off.

Besides, that Yu Hao had clearly joined the Gui Xuan Sect, but his final strike seemed to sacrifice his life, and Gui Xuanzi not only didn’t stop him but even verbally guided him.

This made Ye Jingcheng feel that what’s inside the Simurgh Coffin was not the final Secret Treasure, but rather a furnace of Spirit Pills!

Ye Jingcheng was startled by his own thought when he realized this.

After all, refining pills with living humans is somewhat unimaginable.

But if not thinking this way, what exactly was the Gui Xuan Sect after?

Using mortal blood sacrifices and continuing even after being discovered seemed too flagrant.

It’s just a pity that when Ye Jingcheng killed the opponent, he didn’t produce the Dream-Devouring Worm, otherwise, by devouring a dream, he could have understood the reason.

Soon, Ye Jingcheng stood up, walking out of the array, he found others also stepping out.

Even True Master Qian Kui and True Master Shan Kui approached.

"Daoist Qianchen, you were impressive!" True Master Shan Kui surprisingly praised Ye Jingcheng and handed over a Storage Bag.

This made Ye Jingcheng pause.

"We killed together, but since I dealt the killing blow, I take seventy percent of the treasures, you take thirty percent!" Seeing Ye Jingcheng hadn’t taken it, True Master Shan Kui added.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng accepted.

"I heard you’re also an Alchemy Master?" True Master Shan Kui asked again.

"Yeah, just barely!" Ye Jingcheng nodded.

He didn’t expect True Master Shan Kui to become so talkative overnight.

And all this was simply because Ye Jingcheng’s strength earned his recognition.

"I’ll invite you to refine some pills when I get a chance!" True Master Shan Kui said, then stood aside.

In Ye Jingcheng’s ears, this sounded somewhat strange, as if he was begging to refine pills for True Master Shan Kui.

But considering the latter’s character, he wasn’t surprised.

"Let’s set off, esteemed elders!" At this moment, Xiao He also came over.

Everyone nodded and boarded the Dragon Envoy Flying Ship together.

The two Dragon Envoy Flying Ships headed toward Xiaoshan.

As they neared Xiaoshan, Xiao Wankun came out.

Now his arms had reappeared, and he had changed into a clean Daoist robe.

"Apologies for the embarrassment, everyone!" Xiao Wankun couldn’t help but speak.

"Mansion Master Xiao, if it weren’t for you today, I fear none of us would have survived!" Master Zifu spoke first.

True Master Qian Kui and others nodded.

It wasn’t false; although Xiao Wankun took the brunt of the attack, without him, they couldn’t have escaped.

"No need for such exaggeration, indeed, I was outdone today!" Xiao Wankun waved his hands repeatedly.

Then he spoke again: 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"This time, for killing the Golden Core of the Gui Xuan Sect, I will document your achievements. Daoist Qian Kui, three hundred achievements; Daoist Shan Kui, two hundred; Daoist Qianchen, two hundred and twenty; He Yu Dual Cultivation and Zifu Daoist, one hundred each. Additionally, I will compensate Daoist Qian Kui for his lost Spirit Puppet!" Xiao Wankun added.

Hearing about the achievements, Ye Jingcheng was surprised; he hadn’t expected to have more than True Master Shan Kui.

"Achievements are not about killing, but performance value. Based on Daoist Qianchen’s contribution this time, it’s well-deserved!" Seeing Ye Jingcheng’s doubt, Xiao Wankun explained.

The others nodded in agreement.

Ye Jingcheng naturally had no reason to refuse.

Knowing that the achievements from Xiaoshan Prefecture could be exchanged for treasures, these two hundred and twenty achievements were considerable, enough to exchange for ordinary Tier Four materials.

Definitely not less valuable than two hundred thousand spirit stones.

"By the way, Mansion Master Xiao, this Magical Treasure and Jade Talisman are useless for me, so I will hand them over to the sect!" After some thought, Ye Jingcheng also took out the Ghost King Banner and Blood Simurgh Sword Manual.

The latter glanced at Ye Jingcheng and couldn’t help but praise.

"Qianchen Daoist’s temperament is indeed remarkable. Here, I also remind everyone, when encountering an Evil Cultivation Method, don’t trust it too much. It’s already an Evil Cultivation Method, so there may be mistakes or traps inside, which is extremely normal!"

"Moreover, all Evil Cultivators act for themselves, not for others. Just like the Yu Family before, secretly practicing an Evil Cultivation Method, leading them on a path of no return!" Xiao Wankun surprisingly spoke a lot, and after speaking, he looked at Ye Jingcheng:

"Though you can’t use this Ghost King Banner, it contains a Ghost King after all, along with the Cultivation Technique Jade Talisman. Would five hundred merits suffice?" Xiao Wankun spoke.

Upon hearing this, the others revealed envious expressions.

They knew that the treasures in Xiaoshan Mansion’s Vault were tributed to the Righteous Sect, and seven hundred merits were enough to exchange for a Tier Four Spiritual Treasure.

And to know, slaying a Purple Mansion Evil Cultivator only grants five merits, with only noted Purple Mansion earning more than ten merits.

"Thank you, Mansion Master Xiao!" Ye Jingcheng also cupped his hands in gratitude.

Xiao Wankun spoke a bit more before re-entering the Dragon Envoy Flying Ship.

Estimate that for a long time ahead, Mansion Master Xiao would also be in seclusion.

Ye Jingcheng still had considerable anticipation upon seeing this, hoping to exchange for the Spirit Materials he needed in the Vault of Xiaoshan Mansion.

Of course, even if he doesn’t exchange, Ye Jingcheng won’t miss the trade meeting three years later.

Ye Jingcheng and the others finally landed in front of Tai Kun Palace.

Ye Jingcheng did not immediately go to exchange treasures but planned to wait two years later, which is the day Xiaoshan Mansion pays tribute, where all affiliated forces need to offer tributes, offering Spirit Medicines or Spirit Stones.

Simultaneously, it’s also the day Xiaoshan Market pays rent.

At that time, there are more treasures, even the True Master Qian Kui and True Master Xuan Kui from the Profound Puppet Sect planned similarly.

"Qianchen Daoist, when you have time, do visit us at Purple Mansion Mountain of Zifu Sect!" Master Zifu apparently wasn’t planning to stay long at Xiaoshan Market, seemingly worried about retaliation from Gui Xuan Sect.

Thus, preparing to return to Purple Mansion Mountain and entering seclusion.

"Certainly, by then, I hope Zifu Daoist won’t mind my intrusion!" Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands.

Beside him, He Yu Dual Cultivation saw Ye Jingcheng and further inquired:

"Dare I ask, Qianchen Daoist, are you married?"

"Our Hegu Sect has plenty of beautiful women, skilled in dual cultivation arts, which is also beneficial for cultivation progress!" This time it was Lady He speaking, her figure extremely graceful, her appearance also not less impressive.

"Already am!" Ye Jingcheng replied with a bitter smile.

Ye Jingcheng understood Hegu Sect well, but if to say male cultivators benefit, it’s not necessarily true.

Not just himself, even the other family members of the Ye Family, he actually hopes not to get involved with Hegu Sect.

Because the relationships behind Hegu Sect are quite extensive.

After He Yu Dual Cultivation bade farewell, Ye Jingcheng had a conversation with True Master Shan Kui from the Profound Puppet Sect, who gave him a Xuan Kui Token.

With this token, the Ye Family can enjoy a twenty percent discount when purchasing Spirit Puppets and Spirit Materials from the Profound Puppet Sect.

Of course, between Spirit Puppets and Spirit Materials, the Ye Family is still inclined towards purchasing Spirit Materials. Although the Ye Family currently has no cultivators capable of refining Tier Four Spirit Puppets, they can already refine Tier Three Spirit Puppets.

Adding to the Desolate Inheritance, refining Tier Four in the future wouldn’t be too difficult.

Not long after, Ye Jingcheng returned to the Celestial Sand Treasure Tower of the Celestial Sand Sect.

At this moment, the Treasure Tower’s business was extremely good, even Huang Tiyun had become a salesperson.

And it’s known, the Celestial Sand Treasure Tower does not employ marketing strategies.

"The Loose Cultivators in Xiaoshan Market have indeed increased a lot!" Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but sigh.

"Elder, this time there are ten more commissions, and there are even two Purple Mansion Cultivators, named to meet with you!" At that moment, Huang Tiyun excitedly came forward to introduce.

Ye Jingcheng spent over a day, acquiring ten more commissions.

According to his observation, the Spirit Pills refined by Ye Jingcheng were of excellent quality, even faint Pill Patterns emerged, and it’s known these are Tier Three Spirit Pills, Ye Jingcheng hadn’t refined them for long before.

This naturally led many to believe Ye Jingcheng as a Tier Four Middle-grade Alchemist.

"By the way, change the future commissions, no limit on Tier Four Spirit Pill commissions, limit Tier Three Spirit Pill commissions to five times a year!" Ye Jingcheng directly instructed.

Commissions, while profitable, haven’t provided Spirit Medicines. Naturally, he needs to limit them.

And when offering rewards for Spirit Medicines, Ye Jingcheng instructed Huang Tiyun to prioritize cultivators providing these medicines.

"Alright, Elder." Huang Tiyun nodded and continued with his busy work.

Ye Jingcheng accepted the commissioned elixirs and ascended to the fourth floor of Treasure Tower.

He also took out the Storage Bag given by True Master Shan Kui.

Though not particularly hopeful for the treasures inside, it’s still a portion of wealth from a Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivator.

After a glance, soon Ye Jingcheng held a Jade Box in hand.

Contained in the Jade Box, instead of other treasures, was a two-thousand-year Water Element He Shouwu.

This Spirit Medicine was among those Ye Jingcheng sought as rewards, and it’s one of the main ingredients for Jade Qilin Pill.

"Truly an unexpected surprise!" Ye Jingcheng at this moment only lacked one main ingredient and a drop of Tier Four Flood Dragon’s Essence Blood to refine the Tier Four Jade Qilin Pill.

"True Master Shan Kui from the Profound Puppet Sect was very thoughtful!" Ye Jingcheng murmured.
